Enjoy Better Care with Sedation Dentistry in Las Vegas
Relaxing Options for Anxious Patients
Does going to the dentist make you feel nervous — or even panicked? You’re not alone. Millions of people avoid dental visits due to anxiety, past trauma, or fear of pain.
At Desert Hills Dental, we understand how real dental anxiety can be. That’s why we offer gentle sedation dentistry in Las Vegas to help you feel calm, comfortable, and in control — no matter what care you need.
Who can benefit from sedation?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients who:
- Feel anxious before or during dental visits
- Have a sensitive gag reflex
- Struggle to sit still for long periods
- Need multiple procedures in one visit
- Have had negative dental experiences in the past
- Avoid dental care out of fear or discomfort
Whether your fear is mild or overwhelming, we’ll meet you where you are — with compassion and solutions that work.
Sedation options available at Desert Hills Dental
We offer sedation that’s safe, effective, and tailored to your needs:
Laughing Gas

Oral Sedation (Prescription Medication)
- Deeper relaxation in pill form
- Taken before your appointment
- You’ll feel drowsy but still responsive
- You’ll need a ride home
We’ll talk with you about your health history and recommend the right option for your level of anxiety and type of treatment.
What does sedation feel like?
Most patients describe the experience as:
- Calm
- Light-headed or “floaty”
- Unbothered by sounds, smells, or sensations
- Forgetful of the procedure afterward (especially with oral sedation)
You’ll still be monitored the entire time by our trained team to ensure your safety and comfort.
Is sedation safe?
Yes. When provided by experienced professionals, dental sedation is extremely safe.
We review your medical history, monitor your vital signs, and adjust sedation as needed during your visit. Your safety is our top priority at every step.
Will I feel any pain?
Sedation helps you relax, but we also use numbing medication to prevent pain. Most patients say they feel little to no discomfort — even during more involved treatments like crowns or extractions.
How much does sedation cost?
Costs vary depending on the type of sedation and length of your procedure.
We’ll walk you through all fees up front and offer:
- Flexible payment plans
- In-house membership discounts
- Transparent pricing — no surprises
